We just were at Armando's this weekend. We arrived at 4:30 and were asked if we had a reservation...we did not. They did what we could to accommodate us...we had a small table but it was on the patio. The atmospher and the food were wonderful. The lemon chicken was great, veggies were crisp and as others have said the... more

We had a great experience just sitting out on the front porch on a lovely afternoon sipping on margaritas and eating chips and salsa. These are clearly about the best margaritas in the Coachella Valley. Our experience at dinner a couple of nights later was okay, but not quite as good. It might have been better if we had been... more

I can not believe anyone would have a negative review of this restaurant. In fact, I'm not even sure this is the same restaurant from the negative reviews they are that far off. This is a local favorite and was full both inside and out and we had trouble getting in without reservations. The food is like authentic homemade Mexican... more

I met a man from Palm Desert last August and I have flown to see him twice since we met. In September he took me to Armandos and I loved it. Then in November when I went back I couldn't wait to go to Armandos. The food was ok but the margaritas are the best!!! I did not know there... more

I'm normally not a big fan of salsa, but this place makes some of the best salsa I have ever had. It is so good that I could almost drink it. The chicken/steak fajita burrito is my favorite. I'm also normally not a big fan of refried beans but the ones at Armando's are quite tasty. more

While the food is nothing exceptional, it's good (a suggestion: if you're having anything with chicken or beef, try substituting the "fajita style" instead of regular; it's much better) and the margaritas are beyond compare. We eat there all the time (at least once a week) and have never heard of a 2 Margarita limit as another reviewer said. In... more

Okay, maybe it's not the nicest digs in town, BUT they do give you your moneys worth on the margaritas! And if you eat on the patio, it's lovely. Especially when the mariachis come around! the food is great, try the carnitas! more

Whatever you do, DO NOT go to this establishment. Do not take friends, clients or anybody else for that matter! Unless of course, you HATE them. It's HORRIBLE and FILTHY! The food tastes like the food purchased in the frozen section of your favorite grocery store. Oh, and yes ... they also neglect to tell you, NOR IS IT POSTED... more

This place is on fashionable El Paseo. It is a fun, and comfy place w/ good food and FAMOUS margaritas! Don't miss having one!! more
